Shipmates or Spanking Mates, a tale by subjenny

Paddy Dean returned to consciousness at 7 15 am that Sunday morning at first not realising where she was. She was on her side, a heavy leg over her legs, an arm over her ribs a hand cupping her left breast. Her eyes opened wide and then she smiled when she felt two tight breasts against her back. Last night came rushing back; how she had finally fallen asleep cuddled like a spoon in her new lover’s arms. Her blissful state reaffirmed her conclusion of the previous night. Something as sweet as this could not be wrong. She remembered her first acts of lesbian lovemaking, her first time that she was able to totally trust another human being and submit to a spanking. Paddy’s smile widened as she remembered the spankings she had shared. She began to disentangle herself as gently as she could. “It’s OK I’m awake, I’ve been listening to you sleep for the last twenty minutes.” Jade whispered from behind her. Paddy twisted to face Jade and smiled into her eyes. “No regrets Pad?” Jade asked. Paddy replied by squeezing closer and kissing her lover, tasting the slightly sleep soured breath but still tasty to her. She felt Jade’s hand sliding down between her legs to cup her vagina, felt Jade shift so she could kiss more passionately. Paddy twisted free.

“I need to pee,” she explained as she rolled off the bed, “and I want to wash and clean my teeth.” Jade looked her up and down lasciviously, enjoying the memories of the previous night. She rolled her legs off the side of the bed, pulled Paddy easily closer, trapped her with her long legs, kissed her again, fondled her right breast. Paddy eagerly pushed closer then eased her torso away again.

“Are you a morning person?” Jade enquired. Paddy replied that she was a morning noon and night person, that she honestly could work or play anytime but she also slept any time she was tired. She asked why Jade had asked that. “Because even though I know I said I preferred to receive spankings rather than receive them,” Jade started. “But for some reason, holding you in my arms this morning, listening to you breathe, then seeing your tousled blonde hair on the pillow, sharing that kiss, now holding you I’d love to give you a quick good morning spanking.”

Paddy laughed, “Oh is that all, why didn’t you say?” She eased to Jades left and laid across her left thigh her elbows supporting her on the mattress, her bottom offered. “Make it quick though before I wet myself.” She giggled.

Jade needed no second bidding and her hand beat a rapid tattoo on Paddy’s cheeks. The first slap hardly stung but they became a rapid crescendo to a burning heat that had Paddy squirming and humping her hips. She was breathing heavily by the time Jade was satisfied, she turned to Jade with her eyes bright with unshed tears and passion. Her “Well it was quick,” became lost in their kiss. “Now I really must go she said as she twisted and pushed Jade’s knees apart.” She realised Jade was following her and turned blushing prettily when she realised Jade had been enjoying the sight of her swaying red bottom. “Shower and bath that way” she admonished and pointed as she stepped into the loo and closed the door. When she had finished she went next door and began to clean her teeth, smiling in the mirror at Jade who had moved the curtain slightly so she could again watch Paddy’s bare pink cheeks. She rinsed her mouth and smiling passed Jade a towel and her new tooth brush. They changed places and Paddy did the same thing, watched the tall wide Jade as she brushed her teeth. She examined the bottom she had strapped so fiercely the night before, amazed that there was no bruising. Quickly soaping and rinsing herself Paddy stepped out and wrapped a towel around herself just below her armpits. She wrapped a second towel round her head and squeezed passed Jade just as she finished her teeth. “What are you going to do about clothes,” she enquired. Jade explained that she always kept clean jeans, underwear, t-shirts and track suits in her car in case her clothes got soaked on the boat.

Together they pottered about in the kitchen, preparing cereal, juice and fruit. They kept touching each other as they passed, sometimes kissing. They sat next to each other at the breakfast bar rather than opposite. They were both gratified that they were comfortable enough in each others’ company to chat about anything and, more importantly, not be frightened by silences. After breakfast they checked the time realising the 8 am alarm had not gone off yet. This was the time Jade had decided they needed to rise if they were going to get to the marina for the ideal time conditions.

“Well we have nearly an hour before we have to leave, do you get the Sunday papers delivered?” Jade asked. Paddy shook her head.

Paddy stood up, “Would you think I was greedy if I suggested we went back to bed for 40 minutes?” she asked even as she loosened her towel and let it drop to the floor. Jade ran her eyes lustily over Paddy’s body, and smiled and stood to drop her own towel, and reach out to tug the towel from Paddy’s head. Jade chuckled and Paddy giggled as they ran to the bedroom and almost jumped onto the bed. They held each other still laughing, bodies close, breasts crushed against each other, but slowly they sobered as the kisses became more tender yet more urgent. Paddy slid down Jade’s body to suck her nipples, discovered her bush was level with her taller lover’s bush and began to grind her bush into Jade’s. Neither girl had any inhibitions with the other and they used tongues, fingers, the back of their hands, palms and even at one point Jade’s toes to give and receive pleasure. Finally sated they lay entwined and discussed their plans for the day.

Hey left early and drove to the coast at a slower pace than the day before. On the motorway they held hands and sang along to one of Jade’s CD’s. At the marina they fell into the same routine as the day before and soon had the boat on the water. The weather was better for vacationers but not so good for sailing. They struggled out into the bay then Jade set a course for the yacht buoys. They agreed that today was a day for fine tuning sailing skills rather than just making the boat go fast. Jade suggested they try six timed runs along the course, alternating the role of skipper. She grinned, “Want to sweeten the pot? She asked, “Slowest skipper on each of the two runs gets a spanking? Winning skipper chooses a reward? Not fair to you probably, I know the boat rather well.”

Paddy laughed, “That’s a win-win situation for both of us,” she said; go for it do your best. The first run was made with Jade as skipper so Paddy could learn more about the boat. At such slow speeds Jade managed to tease every last bit of speed from the craft, and sailed it so close to the buoys. Paddy did her best, got better all the way down the course but to no avail. She hated losing but the consequences were not a problem. They set the auto helm and checked there were no other craft anywhere in sight and went below. Jade grinned, “You bare your bottom and be ready, I’ll check above.” Her head popped up out of the hatch as she checked their course, checked for other boats. Paddy struggled in the confined space to strip out of her under suit and waited shivering slightly for Jade to reappear. Jade came back down grinning from ear to ear. “I don’t want to leave the helm for long so over my lap for just one minute” she said sitting down and tugging the naked Paddy over her lap. “No time for ceremony I’m afraid,” she went on pressing the button on the racing stop watch and putting it where they could both see it. She began to pepper Paddy’s buttocks with crisp firm spanks, each one not hard but their cumulative effect certainly heated her cheeks up. After thirty seconds she was grunting and squirming, at 45 seconds she was yelping softly, in no great pain but her bottom felt as though she had sat in nettles. Jade released her after the full minute and left laughing as Paddy began to rub her bottom. After checking their course and safety Jade came back chuckling when she saw Paddy was still rubbing. “For my prize you can stay naked while you prepare me a sandwich and a cup of tea. You can serve me the food a morsel at a time. Of course you will kneel to serve me.” Jade winked and disappeared to pilot the boat. Paddy laughed and shrugged and cheerfully set about her task. It was cold out here but warm enough in the cabin. Jade popped her head below a few times, admiring Paddy’s body, making occasional ribald comments about her rosy bottom. When the food was ready she dropped a towel on the floor and knelt to wait for Jade. Paddy bowed when Jade came back, kept her face studiously polite as she broke the sandwich up and fed her piece by piece. Whenever Jade held her hand out she passed the hot tea to her. Jade made it obvious she was taking pleasure watching Sandy’s figure, and when the sandwich was finished she reached down and squeezed her right breast. “Race time sweetie, time to get dressed.” She announced.

Once more Jade skippered the boat first, using Paddy as her crew, her awareness of the craft and sea conditions was amazing. She kept the balance almost perfect and recorded an excellent time for the conditions. Paddy put everything she could into her run but though she cut her time a lot she still found herself naked over Jade’s lap for another timed minute of spanking. Her already warmed bottom meant that by the time she was released her burning cheeks felt like toast. Jade found it hilarious the way she hopped about the small cabin trying to rub the sting away.

Jade came back below, “There are limited options for prizes out here, but what I’d like is for you to kneel facing the bow, then slide forward onto your forearms, your forehead on the deck. Straighten your thighs so your bottom is in the air and I shall keep the hatch open so I can enjoy the fruits of my labours. Paddy thought this might be more humiliation than fun but acknowledged to herself that a wager was a wager. She complied without demur and Jade came and corrected her position, lifted her hips to show her what she meant about vertical thighs, pushed her shoulder blades down so her back was arched, her bottom sticking up. During the few minutes it took to go back to the start Jade kept popping below decks to caress Paddy’s bare cheeks, twice she slid a finger down her bum cleft then teased her vagina open. She laughed and slapped Paddy’s bottom when she began to push back against the finger. The rest of the time she called through the open hatch to let Paddy know she was watching and enjoying the show. Strangely Paddy soon forgot her humiliation and took pleasure from Jade’s obvious enjoyment. Nevertheless she was pleased to ease her position when she was told to dress for the next runs.

Jade knew that her rival had gained many insights and skills so she pushed the boat as hard as she could. They were on the port hull leaning out on a trapeze when Paddy glanced back and saw a squall racing across the water towards their starboard quarter. She pointed and shouted “Squall Jade” but it was too late, the boat heeled over, was blown sideways so it passed the wrong side of a buoy. Jade had to release the sheet and spill wind from the mainsail to prevent a catastrophe. By the time she sorted out her sheets, got the boat sailing and retraced her course to pass the buoys correctly she knew she was on a lost cause but she gamely sailed on to finish the course. They returned to the start and Paddy took over. With the stop watch running it became obvious she could win with just a storm sail up. However she used the time to experiment with the boat, trying its’ balance. Jade generously offered advice and helped and as they sailed an easy stretch thanked Paddy for the squall warning even though they both knew all crew members were duty bound to keep watch and call such warnings. Jade also offered the opinion she should be spanked for turning to check for herself before releasing the sheet. True she would still have been pushed the wrong side of the buoy but she would have avoided the near catastrophe if she had trusted her crew.

“Do you want to get below and get your butt ready girl,” Paddy couldn’t resist asking just before they crossed the line. “I want you naked, just like I was.”

“But of course, I’d expected no less.” She grinned wickedly as she disappeared below; leaving the hatch open knowing Paddy could watch her strip; making a slow production of removing her clothing. When Paddy came below Jade laid easily over her lap and accepted her one minute warming gracefully. Paddy beat a loud rapid tattoo of stinging slaps but it was only the last five seconds when she began to gasp and show signs of distress. When Paddy helped her off her lap onto her knees Jade was grinning openly, bright eyed obviously thoroughly enjoying herself. Paddy went on deck and turned the boat for home, knowing there was no real sailing time she wound in the roller reefing head sail and brought down the main just as they got to the smooth water in the lee shelter of the river mouth. She tossed a single anchor overboard and cleated it to the bow. She went below and saw that Jade was rubbing her bottom although she was still grinning from ear to ear.

“OK,” she said as she came below. “For my reward I want to drink from you so sit on the forward bench and put a foot on each side bench.” With that she returned to deck to check the anchor wasn’t slipping and came back to find Jade sitting as instructed, her legs spread wide, her bottom on the edge of the bench. She moved forward smiling, kissed Jade then sank to her knees and leaned into Jade’s groin, her tongue lapping softly across her dry vagina lips. She stiffened her tongue and probed gently, lapped again and felt the juice begin to flow. Standing she rushed onto deck, checked and went below again to resume her “drink”. Soon Jade was breathing huge slow breaths, snorting through her nose. Paddy stood up and grinned; leaned forward, kissed Jade slowly knowing they would both taste Jade. “That’s my reward thank you, get dressed and we should be getting ashore.” Jade laughed and mumbled the word “Bitch” even as Paddy went on deck. She had the main up again and the anchor weighed when Jade appeared. They motored back in letting the light air dry the mainsail before they packed it away in the marina. They agreed that they would rather bathe at home so loaded the car and set off. All the way back they teased each other about their little adventures. Jade said Paddy squealed so sweetly and looked lovely with her bottom in the air. Paddy replied with a reminder about a certain girl with her legs straddling two bunks. At one point Paddy poured the last of the tea into a cup and they shared it as Jade drove. Paddy hesitantly asked if Jade really minded what she asked for as a reward, if she was upset when Paddy refused to let her have full relief. Jade had laughed loud, said she had LOVED that.

When they got back to Paddy’s flat she reminded Jade to bring up any clean clothes she needed. They climbed the stairs hand in hand and Paddy showed Jade where to dump the rubbish while she mixed a very weak spritzer, two glasses of white wine into a pint jug, lots of ice and filled up with soda water. She carried the jug and two glasses into the bathroom and began to run a bath. Jade joined her and she wrapped herself round her, taking her time kissing her, tasting her. “Thank you for today Jade, it was wonderful,” she whispered. Jade grinned and assured Paddy that she too had a wonderful time. Paddy added bath oil to the filling bath; lit ten candles, turned out the electric light and they began to strip each other. They took their time, kissing and nibbling each piece of flesh as it was exposed. Paddy felt quite comfortable as Jade held her shoulders for balance while she peeled off her socks and sucked each toe one by one; what some thought of as humiliation she now found  to be second nature. Paddy stopped the mixer taps and naked they snuggled in each others arms, and kissed before stepping into the bath together. They knelt facing each other and used the sponges to wash each other. For some reason when their breasts, stomachs and chests were lathered with soap, it seemed necessary to squeeze together, letting their bodies slide back and forth. They kissed long and slow, enjoying the closeness, the slippery feeling. When they felt clean and fresh Paddy let out most of the water and refilled the tub, making the mix as hot as they could stand. She poured the cold drinks and they sat at each end facing each other laying back and sweating at the heat. Paddy opened her eyes when she felt something caressing her breast; it was Jade’s foot, her toes flicking her nipples, her instep stroking. She smiled slowly and let her right foot slide along to stroke Jade’s bottom; finding the gap between her legs, pushing against her vagina, her toes searching, making Jade squirm. They reached for their glasses and settled back again. The glass bases were balanced on their chests, sweat trickled and they chatted quietly, endlessly interested in each other. When the jug was almost empty and the water had cooled they climbed out of the tub and towelled each other dry. Paddy pulled the plug and blew out the candles and they returned to the living room where Paddy made cappuccino and brought out some nuts and fruit and biscuits while Jade chose some music. As she put the tray down Jade gathered her up and began a slow dance with her, naked flesh pressed to naked flesh. Jade had to bend forward to nibble Paddy’s ear, they swayed slowly round the room.

“Now then girl,” Paddy whispered as the dance ended. ”What about the name you called me after I took my prize?” Jade looked puzzled but then the light dawned.

“Oh yes but you took your pleasure and abandoned me at a critical point,” she remonstrated.

“It was my prize to take as I saw fit, not your place to make demands and certainly not to resort to name calling girl.” Paddy smiled as her 6` 1`` companion tried to look nervous in front of her much smaller frame. I’m afraid I can only be mollified by spanking you my dear.” Paddy looked round the room, and grumbled, “I really must get a chair for this place if you are going to visit a lot. It’s not really worth a visit to our bedroom. Oh well, needs must I suppose.” She sat at the right hand side of the three seater couch and guided Jade round to her left and pulled her over the arm and her lap. Such was her size that when her hips positioned her bottom under Paddy’s palm her torso filled the other two seating places. Jade almost purred as she settled into place. The way Paddy had said our bedroom, still echoed in her head. Paddy smiled as a thought struck her. She suppressed a giggle and began to stroke Jade’s smooth strong buttocks.

“You made a bit of a song and a dance when I finished taking my prize before you wanted me to,” she exaggerated shamelessly. “So now I think it’s only fair I should sing my reply.” She began to slap Jade’s cheeks softly singing softly B – I – T – C- H to the tune of the 70’s song D – I – S - C – O and like the seventies song she repeated the same letters each time landing a gentle slap across Jade’s lovely backside. Both of the girls were laughing by the time Paddy had finished her fifteen soft slaps. She began to massage Jade’s bottom gently, stroked her thighs, her back. When she started to spank Jade again she sang the five letters four times. She smacked harder, loving the sound of her hand. She worked each cheek in turn, five slaps to one then the other. By the time she finished Jade was hissing at each swat, her belly was rubbing across Paddy’s thighs as she bucked her hips and her cheeks were a gorgeous red. She began to caress Jade again, slowly exploring the heat of her bottom, the coolness of her thighs, the silky smoothness of her inner thighs. She probed gently between Jade’s legs, found her hot and damp, teased two fingers inside briefly then carried on with her caressing and stroking. When Jade began to sigh with delight Paddy knew it was time to continue. She struck harder and landed each letter she sang in exactly the same place. As her hand first landed on the top of Jade’s right cheek she yelped at the sting. As the next four landed her yelps changed first to loud exclamations through to finally a real scream of pain because Paddy drove the sting deeper and deeper. When Paddy started on the top of her left cheek Jade’s hiss was almost of gratitude but again as the letter H landed she screamed. This set the pattern as Paddy moved to the middle of her right cheek then her left and finished with five firm swats to each lovely soft fleshy sit spot. Each time her reaction grew in volume as Paddy remorselessly drove the sting deeper and deeper into every part of her luscious bottom. Looking down the full import of her actions struck Paddy, she had made it look as though Jade was wearing red shorts! Her right hand was stinging so she used her left hand to caress Jade to fully appreciate the heat. She let her right hand explore Jade’s thighs, again probing gently into her vagina, feeling the juice on her fingers. She brought her right hand to her mouth and hungrily licked the juices from her fingers. Jade turned to look at Paddy, her eyes bright, tears of pain on her cheeks, she smiled joyfully and hung her head again as her hips continued to wriggle her bottom and Paddy continued to stroke her. When Jade became still Paddy let her hand move in very slow circles on Jade’s bottom. Jade reached for her left hand and brought it to her lips, kissing the back.

“Thank you that feels so toasty now,” she breathed. “For a novice you are so very good at this. I couldn’t have taken that last spanking if you hadn’t built me up to it. You warmed me beautifully and now I feel great, this soreness will last for hours,” she finished. When Paddy eased her off her lap she groaned, “I am going to have to be face down for a while I think, or on my side. “ She knelt between Paddy’s legs and leaned forward to kiss her tenderly, lingering over the kiss, their breasts crushed together. When they parted both their eyes were half closed with passion. “Did I thank you for that spanking Pad,” she murmured. Paddy smiled and nodded.

Paddy eased herself round Jade, “I enjoyed that so much, I am amazed at how brave you are. I want to reward you with what I deprived you of earlier.” She encouraged Jade to lay face down on the couch with her shoulders on the arm rest. She teased and tapped her right thigh till her leg was right against the back of the couch, and eased her left leg off the couch completely. Paddy used both hands to stroke then squeeze Jade’s still fiery red buttocks. She laid her fingers on each buttock, pointing up towards her back, her thumbs she rested against Jade’s vagina. Slowly she spread Jade’s buttocks and her vagina. As she leaned forward she drank in the musky scent of her sex and then began to lick her spread pink vagina with gentle slow strokes. Jade moaned as she realised what was happening. Her vagina became wet with juice as Paddy continued to lick softly. When Jade began to push back and forth Paddy’s tongue became more insistent, stiffer. When Jade pushed her hips away Paddy squeezed her cheeks and vagina together only to open her up again and lick quickly as she thrust backwards. As the speed increased she changed tactics and kept Jade spread, she leaned forward and followed her with her tongue, licking quickly, forcing her tongue inside Jade as she started to push backwards. A sudden gush of juice preceded a violent shudder that shook all of Jade’s body, a shudder that was repeated and accompanied by a hoarse “yes, yes, yes.”  Then Jades body seemed to collapse in on itself as she gave a last violent shudder and lay still. Paddy smiled and let her lie still, content to just stroke her thigh and kiss her red cheeks. Jade’s breathing became slow and even so Paddy went and fetched two cappuccinos, holding one under Jade’s nose. Her eyes opened and they shone she focussed on Paddy, “mmmm wonderful.

Jade levered herself up and drank her cappuccino in small quick sips kneeling in front of the couch, resting her elbows on the couch. Paddy was happy to sit cross legged behind her enjoying the view of her magnificent bottom still red all over. In time Jade finished and with dramatic winces laid down on her side, she pulled a light blanket over them both and pulled Paddy close. For ten minutes she kept sharing slow lingering kisses with Paddy sometimes whispering “thank you Pad.” Then her hand slid down towards Paddy’s sex and scraped through her bush before one then two fingers slowly invaded her. It was Paddy’s turn to moan but as she started to lay back and close her eyes Jade stopped her.

“No Pad,” she ordered, stay as you are and keep your eyes open. “I want to look into your eyes when you orgasm.” They gazed into each others eyes as Jade slowly opened Paddy wider and inserted three fingers. Sometimes one or the other would lean forward to kiss the other. Soon Paddy’s breathing was ragged and rapid, her eyes started to close more than once but each time Jade ordered her to open them, This took louder and louder tones as Paddy felt herself nearing orgasm. Her brow knitted and the only way she could keep her eyes from closing was to blink rapidly. Her body went rigid for seconds then she trembled violently before she relaxed. Her orgasm had been like an electric shock through her brain. Jade gathered her close, wrapped them in the light blanket and they lay there face to face both smiling waiting for Paddy to get her breath back and compose herself. Totally relaxed they spent an hour cuddling, kissing sometimes and talking a lot.

“Will I be strapped tonight?” Paddy asked at some point in their rambling conversation. “I think at some point I should find out about myself don’t you?”

“Yes sweetie,” Jade replied. I’ll do it just before bedtime, I think after last night and today’s spanking I won’t need to be punished today.” Later, she whispered, “You know with you I am just as happy to give as receive. That’s not usual for me.”

Just before10 00pm they realised they were starving and like schoolgirls they raided the fridge eating whatever was there, both of them had a bowl of cereals with ice cold milk. Returning to the living room Jade sat in the middle of the three seater couch and dragged Paddy across her lap so she could play with her bottom as she put it. They watched the ten O’ clock news together with Jade stroking her lovers bottom; every time a silly or irrelevant subject came on she began to spank Paddy softly at first. The next silly segment brought a slightly harder spanking. Paddy began to purr and move her hips about. During the commercial break she received quite a long hard spanking that had her bucking on her lovers lap and yelping, tears formed in her eyes. When Paddy realised the last item was a `that was the news` silly human interest segment she tensed and prayed it would be a short one. Sure enough Jade’s large hand slammed solidly down bouncing off her tender cheeks. Each swat forced a squeal or scream from her, she was saying No, No, No before the end of the news brought her respite. She lay sobbing quietly over Jade’s lap in pain but strangely proud and at peace. When she could she thanked Jade as sincerely as she could and asked her to move to the right of the sofa. As she did Paddy rolled onto her back and rested her head on Jade’s lap and smiled lovingly up at her. Jade leaned down o share a kiss. “Wow that hurt” Paddy breathed “but I am beginning to see the appeal, it feels great afterwards doesn’t it? The release the freedom.”

They discussed the dynamics of spanking with long periods of silence. Neither felt uncomfortable with the silence. After what they had shared they did not need constant talking for reassurance/ As the pain eased to a lovely burning warmth Paddy felt as though she was floating on a sea of pleasure, the corners of her mouth were permanently upturned in a lazy smile.

Just after 11 15 Paddy felt Jade stir and opened her eyes, squinted up. Jade leaned down to kiss her slowly, lips parted to taste her. “Time for bed sweetie,” Jade whispered. “Go clean your teeth and do what you need to do.” She continued. “Then go to your room and get your strap out.” Paddy’s heart lurched when the full meaning hit her but she merely nodded calmly. “I want you to kneel as I knelt last night, but hold the strap across your knees. Try and think of something you feel guilty about, it doesn’t matter whether it’s business or personal. Have you been petty or bullied someone? Have you neglected or been mean to family? Whatever it is doesn’t matter but I find it works better for me.” She leaned down to kiss Paddy again then helped her to her feet. “Off you go,” she ordered, “I’ll tidy up here.”

Paddy quickly performed her ablutions, cleaned her teeth and ran cool water over her wrists and face. She went to her bedroom and took the strap from her drawer. She knelt as she had been instructed and opened up her own personal can of worms, cataloguing mentally her numerous faults and shortcomings. By the time Jade arrived she was so deep in her role-play she did not like herself much at all.

Jade lifted the chest at the end of the bed and was pleased to find it was very light, obviously empty. She lifted the chest onto the bed, positioning half way along the left hand side. She added a pillow to the top of the chest and nodded in satisfaction. “Pad,” she ordered in a low voice of authority, “come here and bring the strap with you.” Paddy didn’t delay but she did not rush. She rose gracefully and approached Jade and offered her the strap. Jade was reassured to see nothing but trust and acceptance in her eyes. “Climb on the bed and kneel in front of the chest please, facing the headboard.” She helped Paddy climb up then held the cushion in place. “Over the chest please, stretch your arms forward.” Jade watched approvingly, gratified she had been right, she could easily swat the top and middle of Paddy’s cheeks; and by angling her stroke could catch the sweet soft sit spot. She reached out with her left hand to rest it on Paddy’s back and rubbed the leather strap over her cheeks. “Twenty swats sweetie,” Jade informed her lover “three to start.”

Paddy nodded and whispered, “Yes thank you Jade,” as she buried her head, determined to bear this punishment stoically, even if she never accepted another. Jade immediately lifted the paddle and swatted the top of Paddy’s cheeks quickly and firmly. After a five second pause she swatted the middle then five seconds later the lowest part. Paddy reacted to each swat with a hiss and then took two deep gulps of air before the next stroke. It stung like blazes but was bearable. She let the pain in and thought about all the shortcomings she had discovered inside herself. Fingers under her chin lifted her head, turned her to face Jade who kissed her softly. “Six this time sweetie,” she kissed Paddy again, “a bit harder this time and in sets of two,” again she was kissed, “be brave sweetie” Jade said before she took up her position. Paddy felt the strap thud into the top of her bottom, heard a crack like a pistol shot and squealed her outrage almost before the pain registered. With only a second pause the strap slammed down again in exactly the same place this time forcing a deep groan from between her clenched teeth. Another deep animal groan was forced out five seconds later as Jade swung the strap in an upward curve catching the lower parts of her bottom. A second later the groan became a high pitched squeal as the strap landed in the same place again. Paddy was vaguely aware she had five seconds to prepare so she took two deep breaths and wrapped her fists in the bedclothes. Jade was amazed when Paddy managed to remain in place as two more hard strokes bounced off the middle of her bottom. She knew at what cost when she lifted Paddy’s face for a kiss; her cheeks were wet with tears, she was sniffing, she shook her head and mumbled, “No it’s too much, I’m sorry, really sorry. I won’t do it again.”

Jade dropped the strap and stroked Paddy’s head and shoulders. “You want to stop sweetie, that’s OK just say the word.”

Even in her misery Paddy managed to look blank then the penny dropped. No she sobbed you don’t understand, I gave someone too much to do, it was my fault, I’m so sorry please you have a green light to finish. Jade realised that Paddy had faced her own personal demons. She kissed her so tenderly and whispered, “yes it hurts when you let tit out doesn’t it you poor sweet thing.” She tried to put strength into Paddy with her next kiss. “Eleven more Pad, harder this time be brave sweetie,” she whispered. She kissed Paddy a last time “Sets of three sweetie then a final two after a longer break, love you” she breathed as she picked up the strap. Paddy steeled herself for her final ordeal, felt the strap lift and instantly her head reared up as an incredible fire lit up the middle of her bottom. Two more strokes followed on top causing her to scream but she held on to the bedclothes. Her crying was like Jades had been now, almost hysterical. She fought to regain a semblance of composure as she felt the strap pat her sit spot. When it landed she arched her back, bent her head back in a long silent scream that continued after the third stroke had driven the pain right through her. She wiped snot from her nose on her arm gasped for breath and forced her head back down, presenting her backside properly. Strangely the last set of three across the top of her bottom didn’t hurt any more it just made the fire in her cheeks expand and blossom. Each stroke drew forth a shriek but though she kicked her legs, her body shook uncontrollably but she remained in place, her head shaking still mumbling through her sobs “I’m sorry, I’ll be good I will, really I will, sorry, sorry, god it hurts so much,”

Jade took aim at the middle of Paddy’s bottom and after a longer ten second break swung the paddle hard against her lover’s cheeks, right across the middle and repeated the stroke just as hard a second later. One long screamed “Noooo” was driven from Paddy as she collapsed and sobbed as though her heart was breaking. She had no inhibitions left, all was laid bare as she unashamedly sobbed and sobbed wiped her nose on her arm and kept begging for forgiveness and the pain to go away. Jade dropped the strap and wrapped her strong right arm over Paddy’s shoulders and held her left hand with hers. “It’s OK now sweetie, all over, all done. You can cry it all out now, I’m here for you.” As Paddy still kept apologising and asking for forgiveness and for the pain to end she put her lips close to Paddy’s ear. “yes it’s over, the pain will fade, you are OK now, everything is forgiven here, we know you’re truly sorry, sshhh now sweetie, it’s all over.”

Jade stayed with Paddy till she got herself under control then she picked up the strap and put it away. She examined her friend’s cheeks and as always was amazed at how much pain a simple woman could stand. Paddy finally became still, her breathing slow and shallow. So Jade eased her up and lifted the chest clear, eased Paddy down onto the bed. Paddy moved like an automaton as she rolled her first one way then the other so she could get the bed linen free. She crawled into bed with Paddy and drew her close. She felt sweet breath on her face as Paddy tiredly lifted her head to look at her. “Thank you Jade,” she whispered tiredly before wrapping her leg over Jade and holding her as though she would never let go. Soon though she relaxed and drifted into a deep sleep despite the pain in her buttocks. Jade smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head. She lay quietly listening to the soft purr of her new lover’s breathing, felt their joined heartbeats. 45 minutes later Paddy shudder and opened her eyes wide, her hand flew back to rub her bottom, then she looked up at Jade and smiled such a joyous peaceful smile.

“Oh wow,” she exclaimed. “So that’s why you do it. I feel as light as a feather, it’s as though I opened my mind’s refuse department and through all the detritus away. My head is buzzing with ideas, as if there’s nothing dragging it down.”

Jade smiled indulgently, remembering her own awakening. “Yes you’ve seen the point made it work for you. Some can never throw out the baggage carry it all their lives. They take the punishment and then pick up the burden again, why bother with the punishment if there is no forgiveness? You’ll pick up fresh guilt and rubbish along the way but punishment can release that if you let it.”

Paddy pushed Jade over onto her back, kissed her sweetly, breasts flattening against her breasts. She slid down so her brush pushed against Jade’s bush. This made it easy to nibble on Jade’s breasts as she ground her bush into hers. She dragged her bush over Jade’s stomach as she pushed there breasts together again so she could kiss her sweet mouth again. She smiled happily down at Jade. “You know if you had asked me immediately after those twenty whacks if I’d consider further punishment I’d have said you were crazy. Now though I think yes I would put myself over that chest again to feel like this. How often are you punished Jade?”

Jade smiled enjoying the weight on her, moving slightly so their breasts rubbed together. She reached round to caress Paddy’s bottom, she couldn’t help a soft chuckle and after a moment Paddy joined in. “As you’ve already found out I like pretty hard spankings, I like the catharsis of tears but real punishments like the strapping you gave me last night I’d say about every six weeks. Sometimes it’s only a month if I’ve had a hard time at work.” She smiled, “when I first started I had so much shit in my head I couldn’t ditch it all. I was punished every ten days or so for four weeks before I was free. You may or may not feel the rubbish piling up again, if you do another punishment will work I am sure; you’ve really taken to this, it took me weeks to face what you have achieved in two days.”

Paddy stopped any further words by covering her mouth with her own. She lifted her head, “It’s gone midnight, we are at work tomorrow but will you make love to me now before we sleep, I want to feel close to you, to thank you for this. Jade needed no second invitation and it was two tired but energised girls that went to work early the next morning after they had arranged to meet Wednesday night.
